Thanks to everyone who is coming to the Pro-Am! I'll see you between 11:00 and 11:15 in the Union. (I'll try to stand by the door so you can find me to let me know you've made it!)

-Laura

Registration this Saturday will be from 11 to 11:30 (room bookings are being finalised) and there is no registration fee.

Just a reminder as details are being finalised (at which point I'll pass them along as soon as I can!) that the pro-am is this weekend so if you're interested in taking part please by all means email me at lem55 and come along to training on the top floor of the Union this Wednesday from 2-5pm! -Laura

1. The SSDC Pro-Am (see other thread!) 2. 2nd November: Newcastle- we're not going to send alot of teams to Newcastle but we are going to send at least one (plus judges). 3. 3rd November: Durham- sending 6 teams! We're sending more experienced teams and hopefully a couple of pro-am teams as well. 4....

The vague nature isn't on purpose and I will be posting details as soon as they are made available to me. The format and timetable will be forthcoming.

And don't forget the into to the society is today from 2-3:45 in the salad bowl.

Come along and say hello!

The 2006-2007 British Debates rankings are out and here are the highlights: * St Andrews moving up a place to being ranked 3rd * 4 IV wins (only Cambridge with 6 and Oxford with 5 had more) * Doug being cited for being the individual to win the most IVs this year with five Updated 12/08/07 – After 4...

After all was said and done, Cambridge B (Giles Robertson and Sam Block) won the final from 1st proposition.

Tallinn Red won the ESL final.

Euros next year, I believe, are to be held in Tallinn.

Indeed, well done everyone and thanks for the updates Jess!

That's fantastic!

Congratulations not only to Connie, Doug, Tony and Jason but to Chris, Rachael, Tom, Miles, and Rebecca for what were by all accounts very strong performances.

Hurrah to the St Andrews speakers! It looks like it was a pretty tough line up!

I usually try to stay out of politics and whatnot but I guess being IV secretary and having held trials, I should answer. Firstly though, I do get a bit annoyed when people aren't willing to attach names to their comments and stick to what they have said, or in this case, typed. Then again, I've alw...
